At long last, this is the finished product. They will be leaving here as fast as I can assemble them. Thanks again to everyone for their patience. I think you'll find them to be worth the wait.

Wow John! Can I still buy some of those? I never saw anything to that effect before... Was this a group buy thing?

I hope I didn't miss out!

Git ya eyes off Alain, them ones are mine buddy

Great news, they look really good.

Just like John's fret caul and inserts, these clamps are of a quality that will easily see out the original buyer and then quite a few generations of new builders yet to come.

No doubt in what is fast shaping up as the age of cheap nasty junk, all who inherit them down the line will be grateful to the initial buyer for showing such good judgement in their support of the manufacture of such fine tools.

Cheers and thanks John

Well Serge, I've come out of John's shop a few times...not sure about the top notch thing in that case.
But as to the PRODUCTS coming out of his shop, yes, you are correct sir. Living so close to John, I get to see some of the things he makes en-production. It's a real treat that I get and you schleps don't! HA, ha, ha!
(ooo, that wasn't nice was it?)

Yikes, Lillian, I'm hoping you don't have an "in" with the big guy in the red suit.
On the other hand...A lump of coal would heat the shop for an afternoon.

Well Paul, I'll have him make it three. That way you can work through the evening.

As for the clamps, I know what I'm getting for my birthday. OOOoohhhh, one for each year. That ought to do a side.
